Arizona Pro/Amateur Women-Golf
(APAW)
Hello Confidants, Constituents and
Comrades,
Thanks to all of you for your never-ending
support at the PGA Tour Superstore for the past two years.
On January 31 the end came for one the most successful women's
clinic I have conducted, and been a part of, in many years.
I was touched to see all the women (at least 30, past and present,
come into the store for the final lessons that I gave. Some of
our regulars were out of town or, at the Phoenix Open, but sent
their expressions of love and support.... Thanks ladies and gents!
As I can say to all of you, let us continue to go forward and
grow. Just because someone did not see the good in what we were
doing, does not mean we must put our clubs in storage and quit.
No! No! No! "Ain't No Stopping Us Now” ladies. Winners
never quit and quitters never win.
Thanks for all the wonderful prayers and letters that went out
on my behalf, because they were answered, and, we were blessed
with two Angel Heroes: Mark Rose, General Manager, and Jason Brill,
Director of Golf at Starfire Golf Course in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The ladies had a wonderful fun day of golf on the beautiful Squire/King
course with 5 winners for the day: Wanda Herndon, Deb Allbritton,
Kay Taylor, Kim Woolridge and Carolyn Cheesteen.
Mark had lunch with the ladies and welcomed us all with an invitation
to come to Starfire on a regular basis. And Jason is giving us
another play-day on Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 9:00 a.m., for the same
price we paid for the past outing played on Wednesday, Feb.1(
$45.00).
Ladies these men at a time like this are our champions and real
heros. We are forever grateful for men with this type of vision,
non-bias (gender or race) and willing to think outside the box.
They know that golf prices during this season can triple, but
they also know how important it is business-wise; when the season
is over women will still be there to support them, and that's
a proven fact!
Starfire Golf Course is now our home and as of Feb.1st we no longer
will be recognized or call ourselves The PGA Tour Superstore Ladies.
We Are now Arizona Pro/Amateur Women-Golf (APAW).
For those of you who do not know what
APAW means, it stands for River......... Now, how profound and
deep is that? We will be known around the nation as the most beautiful
flowers in the valley. We are the most diverse i.e. (race, creed,
color, religion, economic and social status). We, as my friend
Judy Bell the past and only women president of the USGA would
say, we are "BREAKING THE MOLD."
Attn: All Ladies, if you are in the Arizona area, contact me to
sign up and get involved!!!
P.S. I would like to leave you with this thought in mind. One
of my favorite coaches is John Wooden and he made this statement
back in 1997,
"There is a wonderful almost mystical law of nature that
says three of the things we want most is happiness, freedom, and
peace of mind. These things are always attained when we give them
to others".
The PGA Tour Superstore Clinics were the happiest times for me
in the store and I gave them all my effort with honesty, passion
and freely. My W2 form for the year of 2011 shows my salary as
a Certified LPGA Professional for the entire years gross was $5,943.18....You
do the math.
Many blessings
and please share your thoughts on this with me. Sene me a message.
Until next time,
Coach Gladys M. Lee
